Contents
The teaching aims to provide students with theoretical bases on the concepts of creation, recognition, protection and promotion of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in an international panorama, with particular reference to case studies in Italy, China and Brazil. A general reference framework is also provided to guide students on the history of studies and on the set of categories, procedures and investigative tools developed by the anthropological sciences for the interpretation of social and cultural facts with particular reference to the relationship between tradition and innovation in the heritage field. With regard to the definition and patrimonialization of anthropological heritages, some concrete cases are examined in order to explore the relationship between heritage action, locality construction and cultural policies.

The exam consists of a final oral test that develops as a discussion-interview on the topics covered during the lessons and deepened on the recommended texts. The examination serves to ascertain the levels of knowledge, the ability to understand, as well as to synthesize and critical analyse the data. The interview will also allow to verify the ability to communicate what has been acquired, with method, language properties and clarity of display.
The exam focuses on the following aspects:
· Knowledge and understanding - Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: Summary
· Knowledge and understanding - Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: Detail
· Autonomy of judgment, understood as the ability to produce autonomous judgments, arriving at coherent reflections on social, scientific or ethical issues;
· Communication skills, conceived as the ability to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to other interlocutors;
· Learning ability, understood as the necessary skill to advance in studies with a high degree of autonomy
